1. This designation applies to products which are not cold worked after cooling from
an elevated temperature shaping process, or in which the effect of cold work
in flattening or straightening has no effect on mechanical properties
2. This designation applies to products which are not cold worked after solution
heat-treated, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening
has no effect on mechanical properties
3. This designation applies to products which are not cold worked after solution
heattreatment, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening
does not effect mechanical properties.
